Kinship

Recent events have pushed artists to visualize ideas of closeness in a new light. 'Kinship', published on the occasion of the National Portrait Gallery's next 'Portraiture Now' exhibition, features the work of eight leading contemporary artists who explore familial relationships through photography, painting, sculpture and performance.
